Commissioned by GlimmerDAO, Spitballs is a series of simulations in which language is rendered as a fluid organism born from a parasitic virus. The virus causes the spit of their hosts to become embedded with a latent phrase. As it rolls off the tongue, the non-Newtonian blob traverses a field of words in 3D space, binding them into a sentence. The resulting phrases carry fragments of advice discreetly seeded by an alien civilization, using this shadow channel of human communication as a mode of influence.
